11.If That's What It Takes

I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you
Yeah, I know that you've been shattered, you've been bruised
And we both know what it feels like when you lose
But I'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes ...

I bet you counted all the tears up that you've cried
I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside
Cos it hurt you way too bad to say good-bye
Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test
And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget
But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes, oh yeah

So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When you're standing out on that ledge, staring over the edge
I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the
ground

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If it takes the time to get it right
I know we'll pull through
If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do If that's what it
takes ... I'd do anything baby

Oh yeah
I'd do anything you want me to, baby if it's me and you
It's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Oh yeah, oh baby
